@ThisIsCayden @Altimor Hahaha sure was!

@Altimor @PeterPhotinos wasn't this standard practise in Australia too?

@jethrojcohen You mean you don’t like having to create a new tab group from currently open tabs then go into the tab group settings to delete the tab group in order to close all your tabs?

Tab management on iOS Safari is as bad as it was a decade ago. I have had 500 tabs open since time immemorial

@nathanclark_ Without a doubt Reformatory Caffeine Lab is doing the most exciting and out there stuff with coffee in Sydney at the moment. Store is temp closed but online exists. Artificer is super solid as well

Looking to try out some new coffee roasters in Aus. 80% pour over, 20% cold brews. Usually go with Sample, Single O, Everyday, or Five Senses. Who am I unlikely to know but doing great filter roasts?

@DanBrockwell @EarlyworkHQ So they just get their parents to buy what they are selling so they can hit their targets without doing any work?

Someone in @EarlyworkHQ’s tech sales bootcamp described themselves as “The Wolf of Woollahra” and I don’t know if I can ever see Woollahra the same way again

@10x_er Poober, like Uber but it’s a ute with a porta-potty on the back so you can take a dump while enroute to your destination

starting z combinator but funding only the shittiest ideas, respond with your best idea

@DanBrockwell They don’t replace birks but I recently bought a pair of Teva and I think it’s the closest you can get to feeling like you are barefoot and still get let into an office with a mandatory shoe policy.

How the heck did Havaianas thongs become so popular despite being so mid? Not particularly comfortable, durable or stylish Archies > Havaianas and it's not even close Obvs Birks are S-tier but different price point

@jethrojcohen Big boy, big cars, b ball

For those playing at home, although United don’t have the GOAT film available to stream (“Heat”, and no I’m not open to changing my mind), they do have a top ten contender (“Fast Five”). Yes my taste in film hasn’t changed since I was 16.

@jethrojcohen Looks like the stash got a bit of a groom before this photo shoot

When your very cool, very Melbourne brother beats you to that AFR feature by many years

@Sammy_howes @jethrojcohen Housework is just work work you do in the house right?

@jethrojcohen You could always get into some post-work housework? 😇

The single best thing for my work-life balance is having an early dinner when my partner and I finish work -- it gives a cutoff after which we settle into a nighttime routine. When she's traveling for work, I look up at my laptop clock to find it's 8pm and I'm still emailing.

@jethrojcohen This is an interesting way to ask if anyone wants to be your friend

Canvassing Friday morning HIIT classes for folks in the Melb startup ecosystem. Only rules: don’t take it too seriously and bring a mate. Smoothies on me afterwards. HMU if interested

@jethrojcohen The only game I still play every time they release a new one is Pokémon. It’s no stress, easy, can put it down whenever you want, doesn’t require quick reflexes. Plus lots of nostalgia!

I loved video games as a kid. Since I started working, life got in the way. Every time I consider buying a new game, inertia stops me. I can’t be arsed spending 3 hours to learn basic mechanics, let alone invest 20+ hours. What’re the best games with low time to value and depth?

@jethrojcohen @Sachin_Shah_ @jethrojcohen It’s always been coe and coe or hunted and gathered and you know it

@Sachin_Shah_ My vote is that the tide is moving to Axil just up the road

Is this the melb equivalent of Rueben Hills?

@DanBrockwell @tunguz @DanBrockwell you assuming this would offend me is what actually offended me. All good data scientists should also be good analysts. Any data scientist that has issues being called a data analyst isn’t a good data scientist.

@tunguz You mean a Data Analyst?

Offend a Data Scientist in one tweet.

@jethrojcohen On the flip side, running a business in a country where you aren’t a native speaker is about to get a whole lot easier

Phishing scams are about to go up a level with GPT-3

@jethrojcohen Surely you aren’t hitting your macros with just fishbowl?

When your fiancé is travelling for work and you’re cooking for one for a week.

@robchanAU @jono_herman Who you know > hard work > talent ?

@jono_herman What about 1->1B?

Call me ole fashun but in the 0-1: hard work > talent

@jameswstaylor @_azhu_ @jethrojcohen There is a lot of good stuff on the Uber Eng blogs around these topics. They can be a bit dense/tech focused though. Eg eng.uber.com/uber-eats-trip… If you want to talk about it more shoot me a dm. The twitter character limit makes it hard to go into detail haha

@jameswstaylor @_azhu_ @jethrojcohen @jameswstaylor Great but loaded q. Very dependent on the subject of the optimisation and what you are trying to optimise. Also limited by data available. Eg Optimising for driver earnings results in a very different solution compared to optimising for delivery times.

Been thinking about fast groceries recently for reasons other than cash burn. The business model is full of interesting programming problems...

@_azhu_ @jethrojcohen Until recently it was only 1 pick up, 2 drop offs. Even in that simple batch there is a lot to optimise. On demand logistics presents many fascinating problems. At scale, the networks are so interconnected that small changes can have large effects. Could talk about this for hours

@jethrojcohen @PeterPhotinos What a gun! I suspect Eats delivery is far more complex with multiple pickup and dropoffs vs one pickup and multiple dropoff?

@VullinghsJ @jethrojcohen That said, bubble.io is probably one of the more versatile no-code solutions I have come across. It has a pretty steep learning curve though. I really like retool.com for low/no-code internal tool development. I think it is one of the more useful tools

@VullinghsJ @jethrojcohen It is really subjective dependent on your use-case. I haven't found a no-code solution that is extensible enough to do "everything" but also still easy to use/approachable enough for no-code users.

who's a no-code genius in ANZ?
